check in late and go to sleep or watch TV is ok anything else is disappointing.
Pros:

very good tv lots of channels great video

Cons:

where you hang your clothes and where you put your suitcase is right above each other like two feet apart so when you raise up you hit you head on a charp edge of the upper part of the clothes hanger terrible design. you also cannot come back in from the other end of the motel to your room you can only go out, so if you want to go to your car for anything you have to go all the way around the motel to go inside. not great for older people or any one else.

Cheap hotel close to the balloon fiesta
Pros:

If you’re going to the balloon fiesta, this place is only 6 minutes drive to the general parking area! It is also quite cheap compared to all the other nearby properties during the fiesta.

Cons:

Very rundown property all over. If you’re ok roughing it for a night or 2 for the cheap price or the close approximation to the balloon fiesta, this would be a good place to be!

The worst staff in the hotel industry
Pros:

This is literally the worst run hotel in all of America. The management couldn’t have been more rude. The management came into my room at 10:58 because I had it checked out the the given time 11.

Cons:

The staff and the management are the worst I’ve ever witnessed

Pros:

The staff was friendly and pleasant

Cons:

GREAT LOCATION & CLEAN - WOULD STAY HERE AGAIN!
Pros:

The facility as a whole was VERY clean! My room was exceptionally clean, the beds were comfortable and the staff was amazingly accommodating!!! If you are attending the International Balloon Fiesta - THIS IS THE PLACE!!! Walking distance to the field but better yet you do not even need to leave the parking lot of the hotel to enjoy the launch, drone show, & fireworks!!!! Tons of restaurant options nearby as well. The pool area is adequate but the pool is not heated so be aware of that. We still took a dip though!

Cons:

More tables & umbrellas in the pool area would have been nice!!! Maybe even add some permanent bench seating out near the dog play area too.

Our room was basic and we slept there to be close to the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta.
Pros:

The room was clean and the basics were present.

Cons:

The plumbing is very loud, there wasn't a microwave or refrigerator, a coffee pot or tissues available.
